Confirmation Calls Us to Put Our Faith In Action

- Weed & Reap – Sat., April 25, 2026. Spring is here and we are heading back to Meriden to help the Franciscan Sisters with their abundant grounds. Winter has been long, so there is a lot of prep work to be done. Join us for gardening, weeding, pruning, and tending to the land. We’ll get our hands dirty, have lunch, and spend the morning outdoors (weather permitting) helping the Sisters. Be sure to wear garden work clothes and shoes that you are ok getting a little dirty. (Bring garden gloves if you have them). Questions? Contact Suzy Gujda at s.gujda@stpaulkensington.org.
